Doesn't work guys you'll have to re-think it.
It completely fucked the battle that just happened. We were down people and the number advantage the offence had completely crushed us because the spawn time rapidly accelerated out to 40+ seconds per spawn.
The result was the attackers hit in waves and we the defenders eventually just get overwhelmed.
It's not working as intended.
-
I had to leave 1 minute before the battle to go help a buddy out. Figured I'd have enough time to get back before it was over, and I did.. but just barely. Pretty lame system, I foresee many assaults in quick succession as people rush to take advantage of it.
-
Just revert it entirely to what it was before, prioritizing player respawns based on performance. Defenders were unable to exert enough manpower to hold their spawns within 10 minutes of the battle, not even 100-150 tickets went before their village was untenable.
edit: superior goon tactics
-
sending in 300 man army to take it back, expecting a win with this new
shit well thought out system ;)
-
Honestly dont get how the devs could think this was a good idea.
-
I see how they thought it would work, but if you keep adding seconds to the timer obviously it's gonna be easy as fuck to cap flags.
-
they dont usually play strat battles, thats why they theorize it would be an good idea :rolleyes:
-
I still think the spawning on each flag is silly as well, Is it possible to look into that while your at it, Could it not be set as a radius to the flag its self, Say 10-15m.. that way the defenders would have a chance to fight, rather than be born into a circle jerk of overhead "Get as many kills as possible" love fest on top of the remanding flag/s. :p

Oops.

hehe, well the flagcap change now wont help either, defenders of flag will have an even harder time now keeping the flags up :P
i eat those words, last change really rebalanced alot of things, good to see, the 4s to 1s and ranged reset did help alot too.

Played my first siege with the new spawn change. It was AWESOME. Having walls+ decent gear made the attackers have to REALLY change tactics. Unfortunately for grays, they changed WAY to slow.
It then became a literally slaughter to the man.
Defence killed 2k to their 1.3k lost. Very very good for defence. This means that Offense will have to play much more conservatively.
-
the 1s(?) instead of 4s works alot better x.x

They bringed mighty mauls to defenders on the first waves, that was a very bad idea :twisted:

That too.
They tried besieging it like the old way. It didn't work. They switched to catapults. Considering their spawn disadvantage, they still killed 1.3k.

Sounds great I really want to see it in action.
TBH I'm really glad they are fooling around with it because strat battles really had just become a game of numbers, and that's about all. So good to see that perhaps tactics can be rewarded... I should change that to USED.
-
It's Horrible for village defense. It works swell for maps with walls or severe obstacles to by pass.
After playing 1 city and 1 village siege. First as defense, second on offense.

Today was very interesting battle:
Union (a: 1512 s: 483 k: 1029) VS Crusader Alliance (a: 1994 s: 435 k: 1559)
equipment: comparable
During the battle team with better average K:D ratio gain numerical superiority on the battlefield (extended average respawn time for opponent team). After a long and fierce battle (30 minutes) Union receives positional advantage - continuous attack on enemy respawn. Union won. Crusader Alliance retreated during the spawn rape.
New spawn time system has an interesting effect on the battle. Smaller, but very high quality army, is now much more sensible. I still have no opinion about siege, but first impressions after battle in the field is very good. Can see various stages of battle and breaking point, you know, turning point. Battle is more dynamic and it's not just countdown number of tickets.
I'm not talking about balance, only about that change direction is OK.

equipment: comparable
Hahahahahahaha

Hahahahahahaha
Replace types of our and your arms and armors, and then tell me what is funny here.
-
everything can be compared ;)
-
I didn't fight there. What was the equipment?
-
ok after seiing the current Yalen siege, its quite obvious that the flag cap change actually is making it much easyer for attackers to win, all u gotta do is killing ppl near the flag and then move on.
the city has expensive gear so it should'nt be to easy to dominate, but here we are, most flags are down, where before this flag change this city always was able to keep it somewhat equal between attacker and def.
-
They should do it this way. Kills vs. Deaths and for every death higher than your kill count, adds 1 second to your respawn time. So if you have 9 kills and 15 deaths, your respawn time would be 6 seconds (or 9 if 3 seconds is the base)
